WELCOME
RECENT POLICY CHANGES IN THE EPG
In a “two-lift” pavement process, 1500 ft. of a thinner layer of “smog-eating” concrete (containing a photocatalytic additive of titanium oxide) is laid on top of a thicker layer of concrete along the new Rte. 141 in St. Louis County. Smog is absorbed by the additive, broken down by sunlight and released as nitrogen and carbon dioxide. MoDOT is the first to use the additive on a road project in the U.S.
On Rte. 111 near Big Lake State Park, the Maintenance crews of Mound City have removed massive amounts of sand from the recent months-long Missouri River flooding. Photo by Wes Wallick, NW District Sr. Highway Designer.

MoDOT has made great strides to build a good transportation system and increase taxpayers' trust in its ability to deliver what was promised. Innovative concepts, such as Practical Design and design-build, were used to deliver those commitments and have made MoDOT a leader in the transportation industry.

These forward-thinking, innovative concepts are reflected in the ENGINEERING POLICY GUIDE (EPG). This document provides a single reference for all engineering and engineering-related guidance by combining the former Right of Way, Design, Bridge, Construction, Traffic and Maintenance manuals.

MediaWiki, the engine behind the Wikipedia on the World Wide Web, is the software delivering the EPG. Millions of hits on the EPG endorse this format to be easy to navigate and pleasing to read. A small HELP ARTICLE is included to assist with helpful hints on how to use the EPG as well as other points of interest.
